Company : Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center Country : Role : Postdoc
Job Description:
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, home of three Nobel laureates, is an independent, nonprofit research institution dedicated to the development and advancement of biomedical research to eliminate cancer and other potentially fatal diseases. Recognized internationally for its pioneering work in bone-marrow transplantation, the Center’s five scientific divisions collaborate to form a unique environment for conducting basic and applied science. The Hutchinson Center, in collaboration with its clinical and research partners, the University of Washington and Seattle Children’s, is the only National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center in the Pacific Northwest. Join us and make a difference! The Carlson laboratory has played a key role in the development of novel technologies for next-gen sequencing of somatically rearrange T cell and B cell receptors. A key arena for the application of these technologies is in the diagnosis of leukemia and lymphoma, and the detection of minimal disease in patients during and after treatment. Responsibilities We seek a postdoctoral fellow with experience in lymphocyte biology, adaptive immunology, or lymphoid malignancies and an interest in learning the other fields. The postdoc will be responsible for prosecuting two funded projects, one in B cell Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, and the other in Follicular Lymphoma. Responsibilities span the full length of the projects, from IRB and sample management to data quality control, analysis, and manuscript preparation. Funding is guaranteed for 2 years, during which time the applicant will be both expected to compete for training grants and assist in the preparation of these proposals. Qualifications
